EKG Heart - Valentine's Day Nail Art

Hi everyone!!

Super brief introduction---I'm Wendy and I love
nail painting. I'm a big fan of brights and pastels, and with Spring and
Summer coming up, it's my prime season for fun colors. Though I'm
still working on my skills, I have many ideas for nail art and I'm
always trying to experiment new things!

So leggo! First nail art
post!! I thought I would put up a Valentines Day nail, appropriate for
the upcoming holiday. Cute, girly, and nerdy (was a Bio major in
college) all in one!

I used two coats of Panda-monium Pink as the base color (from OPI's HK
Collection) and then put one coat of Sinful Colors glitter on top.
Those two colors alone look great together for a polished girly look,
but I took it a step further and painted a heart onto my ring finger,
using China Glaze's Ruby Red Pumps (one of my favorites!). The EKG
signals were done using a black LA Color Art Deco polish which has the
longer skinny brush to draw in lines. I find it easier to draw parallel
lines first and then connect the other lines in later. Finally, I
placed three rhinestones on my thumb finger nail.
